Dear Readers, I have been asked to join the Descendant Machine Blog Tour by Titan Books. With my review date set on April 14th 2023.

Descendant Machine by Gareth L. Powell is a new Science Fiction novel. Where 75 Years in the future the Earth will be at war and on the verge of armageddon, but as the missiles flew at the and entity was watching and stepped in. A scientist just hours before had found the substrate a way of which to travel from place to place over distance. Years after this event all earthlings are placed on giant arks traveling through the substrate searching light years in the future for a new home. The meet new creatures in distant lands as the arks try to maintain a piece of home. This book is labeled as Continuance #2 but you do not have to read the first book to enjoy this one it is just from the same world I have just described.

I read the first book in Continuance series called Stars and Bones, here’s some of my initial thoughts on it. Stars and Bones by Gareth L. Powell is a science fiction with about the worlds survival after earth has already blown up. The novels plot is half the science fiction horror movie Life meets half of 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke. This novel gets pretty brutal and no one is safe. The pace of the novel is good as you and the character’s race for time and answers. The big Science Fiction ideas get a little heady but I felt I was able to follow along pretty well. The backstory for the plot and how the earthlings got to this moment in time was the highlight. Stars and Bones was brutal and gory at times as bodies are broken apart and reformed not always in the right way making them nightmare creatures.

Stars and Bones was on my best of list for books published in 2022, So I’m really hoping Descendant Machine lives up to it.

This is my first book tour in my 5 years of book reviewing so thank you to Titan Books for including me.
